Receives Applause Through- | out Performance of “The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch”| 'EXCELLENT VAUDEVILLE | | ; Orpheum Presents Unusual Bill, Corrigan as Jekyll and Hyde Making Big Hit | | Graceful and charming Florence Roberts greeted her Francisco friends at the California Theater last night after her long trip through the East. Every seat in the | house was filled by an enthusiastic ad- mirer. The play was “The Unwelcome | Mrs. Hateh,” and the emotional young actress showed her wonderful ability to as great advantage in it as in those pieces of Fremeh complexion where lo- cal play-goers have seen her more fre- | quently. | In the scenes where she denounced | the woman who had stolen her hus- band and where she is reunited k her daughter Miss Roberts had b audience at her feet. At the close of the third act earers kept the cur tain going tle speech and Most of the female portion of the ence was mov to shed tears at the sad chap- ters in the story. Hersche! Mayall, who has lately been at the Central, played | the part of the cruel husband with the success which usually attends his ef- | | forts. Georgie Woodthorpe looked after | the humorous and pathetic character of gnes, the old servant, to the eminent atisfaction of the house. The others cast performed their duties in a ¥ acceptable manner. was Miss Roberts, however, as and not the play, that most of the people went 10 see. The applause was alm coutinuous. The earnest little act wore herself out endeavor satify her hearers. ess to She never had any in her dificulty in filling the Alcazar, and from the present outlook she w crowd the California during her stay. | Next week she will appear in “The | Country Girl.” g . . . The Orpheum bas a show this week that the people cannot stay away from. It is one of the record breakers for merit. Perhaps the best thing on the bill is the “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Twenty Minutes” by Emmett Corrigan and his company, though, of their kind, there are other features just as good. Mr. Corri- gan gives a representation of the dual role in Robert Louis Stevenson's creepy work that is one of the best things ever seen here., His transformation from the benign, lovable Dr. Jekyll to the monster, Hyde, before the eyes of the audience is almost weird and is certainly one of the clev- erest things in stagecraft. The rendering of the play in twenty minutes is a taking idea. The audience is given | a good conception of the story on the Orpheum_stage. ‘ Della Fox was among the favorites and her reappearance in the city was warmly greeted.

John Birch, who es a whole | melodrama himself, assuming the dif- | nt parts by merely changing hats, is | one of the real hits. This is certainly a great week for those who appreciate vaudeville and know the | way to ‘the Orpheum. . . . 7he Ferris stock company presented “Way Out West” last night at the Grand Opera-house without Florence Stone in | the leading role. Miss Stone was sup- posed to be starring as a blind Indian | girl, though she did not have much to do. She was given a warm welcome when she appeared on the stage for the first time and showed her versatility. | Dick Ferris was the shining light of the production, which is built on the lines of “Arizona.” Ferris was the center of ac- | tion and danger from the moment he ap- peared on the stage in the first act. He | was kept busy doing hero stunts through- | out the play, posing in the dual role of | twin brothers—one a cowboy and the other an army officer. Frederick Julian | as the chaplain, Frank Sheridan as the colopel and A. Byron Beasley as the vil- lain were all much in evidence and | played their parts very creditably. Lans- ing Rowan, Edith Julian and Marion Bal- | lou were the leading female performers. This evening the newsboys of the | city will be admitted free to the play | through the generosity of Mr. Ferris. | | Hundreds of tickets have been dis- tributed and the lads are promised an enjoyable evening. —_————— | The strenuous man often wins a vic- | tory that isn’t worth the effort. \’\_"ith every purchase of goods to the amount of 75 cents or more A HIGH-CLASS UNO WARE VASE.

Land to Be Subdivided A deal is now under way in this city that will probably result t y or to- morrow in the sale of the fafious Chino ranch in San Bernardino County. E. J. Marshall, vice president of the | Southwestern National Bank of Los An- geles, arrived here yesterday in connec- tion with the deal, and admitted last night that he expected to complete it within the next forty-eight hours. He declined to enter into the details of the transaction until it is completed, on the grounds that it involves a great sum of | money and any interference would mean a great loss. “It is true that a syndicate, with which | Edward T. Earl of Los Angeles and I are identified, is negotiating for the Chino ranch,” said Mr. Marshall, “and I regret e fact has become public. I came to this city to see other parties connected with the matter, but had hoped to keep the purpose of my visit secret.” The Chino ranch is considered one of the mest valuable properties in the south- ern part of the State, and has been the object of negotiations several times in the last few years. The ranch consists of 30000 acres and includes a large amount of personal property. Among the sets are a railroad and valuable rolling ock, such as locomotives, passenger and freight cars, traction engines, devel- oped and producing oil welis. and their complete outfit, business blocks, farm- | houses and farming implements. For a long time the title to the ranch was clouded, but these difficulties have been cleared, and with the advent of a | new owner it is understood that the prop- erty will be opened for settlement. The purchase price is said to exceed $1,000,000 by several hundred thousand. P THIRDTE T0 JOH KDY The four hundredth anniversary of the birth of John Knox, the Scotch reformer, was observed in the city yesterday. Not alone was reference made to him by Pres- | byterian ministers, but pastors of other | denominations remembered him in their sermons. The Rev. Wiliam Kirk Guthrie deliv- ered a eulogy on John Knox at the First Presbyterian Church, and the Rev. James H. N. Williams, pastor of the Simpson Methodist Episcopal Church, spoke as follows: Grea: events generally center around great and forceful personalities The following are iilustrative instances: Bismarck and German unity; Cromwell and the Magna Charta: Peter the Great and Russian progress; John Wesley Methodism: George Washingion and Amer- ndependence: Abraham Lincoln and the union of the States and freedom of the slaves.

Mclaughlin, Local Writer, Dies, a Victim of Heart Complieations. Daniel J. McLaughlin, for years one of the best-known newspapermen in the West, died last night of heart trou- bles at a local hospital. He had been ill for many months and the énd was not une: “Dan” McLaughlin was well recog- nized in newspaper circles as a keen, humorous and forcibje writer. He came to this city four years ago and at once afiiliated himself with the edi- torial staff of The Call. Its files con- tain many of his cleverest efforts. Often, however, he contributed excel- lent articles to weekly and monthly periodicals. McLaughlin began the “Police Court stories” that have amused so many. His prize story, “As Ye Sow,” which appeared in the issue of The Call a2 week ago yesterday, un- doubtedly had woven in its well de- fined plot a portion of the writer’s per- sonal history. To some it seems now that McLaughlin to a certain extent depicted his own end as he expected it. Daniel McLaughlin was 36 years of age. He was born in the Black Hills of South Dakota and t his early days there. He was a graduate of the Georgetown University of Washington, D. C. He leaves a brother, W. L. Mec- Laughlin, a lawyer of Deadwood, South Dakota, and a mother, Mrs. Ellen McLaughlin, - of ~Keokuk, - Iowa, - to mourn his death. His remains proba- bly will be shipped to South Dakota for interment. —_—————— BAKERSFIELD MAN RUN DOWN AND INJURED BY A CABLE CAR H.

NELSON TS BOAER ATTELL Epectal Dispatch to The Call PHILADELPHIA, May 21.—The long- looked-for appearance of Battling Nel- son in the East will take place to-mor- row night, when the Dane will box Abe Attell, the feather-weight champion. Great interest has been taken in Nel- son since ne came here, although the ‘Western boy has somewhat chilled en- thusiasm by his refusal to meet Willie Lewis of New York, unless the latter weighs 130 pounds at 6 o'clock the night of the bout, while he wouid not have to weigh in. - In view of Nelson's announcement that fight fans view his action in the Lewis matter with suspicion. Attell, who will meet Nelson to-morrow, is a boxer, not a fighter. It is expected here he will do to Nelson what he did to Tommy Mur- phy—make him look cheap. However, if Nelson corners the elusive Attell it will be all up with the latter. On Friday night Peter Maher will box Joe J. Eannette of New York. On Satur- day Tommy Mowatt of Chicago will make his first appearance in the East against Jack O’'Neill of this city, It has been anncunced that the winner of the latter bout will meet Nelson in his sec- ond bout here. . . —_—— CYCLERS REVIVE GLORIES OF THE SAN JOSE TRACK Waible of the Garden City Wheelmen ‘Wins the One-Mile State Cham- plonship Race.
